This week I had a photoshoot with a fantastisch group of people: the Fighters Against Cancer. They are team number 132 at the Roparun relay race. In 50 days from the moment of writing of this post, they will run/cycle non-stop as a team from Paris to Rotterdam. 520 kilometers with no stopping in between. A hell of an achievement if you ask me. Prior to the run itself they spend a lot of their time in organising events to raise money. And of course they train a lot for the Roparun itself. And they do all of this to donate to the good cause of helping people with cancer.

During the shoot I used a 4-light setup of studio strobes. Two strip lights at the back acted as main light with a pretty direct light at the front as the fill. In the back a gridded reflector created a bit of a halo on the background. This lighting setup in combination with my little lower perspective makes them look the way they are: heroes!

Thank you ladies and gents of the Fighters Against Cancer for a wonderful evening and the opportunity to make images of such a great group of people.
